Two U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) field offices in Utah are seeking public comments through July 24 on environmental assessments (EA) for proposed oil and natural gas lease sales in the northeast area of the state. The EAs would be used to determine which parcel are included in the sales, now scheduled for December. One EA assessed 64 potential parcels, comprising 66,626 acres, in Duchesne and Uintah counties, including 2,080 acres of split-estate land. The second EA looked at 15 potential parcels comprising 32,013 acres in Emery County, mostly southeast of Ferron.
